Who is Billy Idol's wife?
Idol never married but had a long-term relationship with Perri Lister from 1980 to 1988. They have a son, Willem Wolf Broad, who was born in Los Angeles on June 15, 1988, and who has been a member of the rock band FIM, according to Famuse. Following the birth of their son, Lister and Idol broke up after he cheated on her with Linda Mathis.
'I couldn’t help but have dalliances'
Idol told Louder in November 2016, "I loved Perri but I couldn’t help but have dalliances." During a 2014 interview with CBS, he spoke about how it was hard to stay faithful. He said, "I mean, especially on a 10-month tour, on a bus going from nowhere, from place to place, to Denny's, Carl's Jr, Denny's, McDonald's, Carl's Jr, Denny's, truck stop . . . You wanted something to break up that monotony. And the only way to do it was a piece of human flesh!"
In an interview with Paper in 2011, 'The Real Housewives of New York City' star Sonja Morgan revealed that she once dated Idol. She said, as quoted by Distractify, "I went out with Billy for a while. That was nice. It was scary because he was dating Perry Lister, she had red hair and was like six feet tall. He's a vegetarian and a very nice man."
Idol got linked with various women, some of them famous including Melissa Gilbert, who starred in 'Little House on the Prairie' in 1974,' model Shanna Moakler and China Chow, whose father owns Mr Chow restaurant franchise —but none of those relationships led to marriage.
